Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

Tunable DNA hairpin springs stretch millions of protein copies under piconewton tension, enabling bulk biochemical discovery ...

Two research teams mined genomic data from bacteria to create databases containing thousands of antiviral defence proteins ...

AI language models, used to generate human-like text to power chatbots and create content, are also revolutionizing biology by treating complex biological data like a language. Language models are ...

The limitations imposed by evolution have implications for AI tools trained on existing sequences and de novo protein design ...

Deep beneath the shifting sea ice of the Arctic Ocean, a massive marine mammal moves slowly through waters that remain near freezing for most of the year. The animal, known as the Bowhead Whale, can ...

The demand for complex therapeutic proteins, is rapidly accelerating, with the bispecific market alone projected to grow to $50B by 2030. While these atypical molecules offer transformative clinical ...
